About
Hey I'm Derek! I have had the privilege of being a wedding DJ for about 10 years now. I officially launched ONYX in 2020 as a way for customers to experience a “one stop shop” for their wedding/event needs. We offer DJ, Photography, Videography, Photo booth, Lighting, Hair and Makeup. I began my DJing job in Austin, TX with one of the TOP Wedding service companies in the U.S. and my mentor was voted #1 DJ in Austin! As a Nashville singer/musician, I love bringing fun and creativity to the dance floor. The wedding experience is something that is to be cherished and remembered forever. The idea of making even the slightest positive difference in the way the special night is remembered is what drives me to take my job very seriously and have lots of enthusiasm. Whether it be creating a unique playlist to your taste, getting your people on the dance floor, or just checking in with the wedding coordinator, I will always make sure the couple is taken care of throughout the night. My highest priority is to create a great environment and memories that will last a lifetime!

Our wedding was August 1, 2021 and our DJs came and knocked it out of the park! Everything was on que and they were so energetic and even got out and danced with the crowd. Great people! I would definitely recommend them for your special event. Thanks Onyx!

Derek was the DJ at my wedding in October 2020. He was absolutely fantastic! He played some of my husband and I's favorite songs, along with some songs that got everyone on the dance floor! He was also awesome at directing people's attention when needed, and leading us in some fun games! Highly recommend him.

Derek Hughes did an awesome job with my daughter’s wedding. He played everything we asked for and some other really good additional music. He was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding and was very kind and polite.

Our wedding could not have been complete without some Motown, 70s, and 80s and our dj was perfect for this. They kept in contact and were helpful as well as friendly. They had a form to fill out with songs we wanted, didn't want, and also many other things I would have never even thought about talking to the dj about. After completing the form the dj actually reached out to us and went over everything just to make sure so our wedding night would run smoothly. It was a blast for us and our guests and would recommend them to everyone I know. If you book them, you will not be disappointed.

Derek was always able to get back to me in a timely manner despite us having pretty much opposite schedules. When he couldn’t make it he got me Trey who did a wonderful job. My husband & I had a wonderful wedding thank you so much. If y’all haven’t had the chance to work w/ Derek or Trey you need to. My husband & I will definitely be calling em back to do music for us again very soon
